A Poison Swindle.
In. ., States.I


The street dogs have devom'ed
at least four hundred pounds o.
poison meat for the city in the
past few days and no canine deaths
have occurred. This is . very dis.
couraging result. A stalwart po-
liceman with his hand on his heart
solemnly declared to the States
that on Wednesday night he load.
ed one brindle dog with eleven
sausages, and like Oliver Twist,
the dog asked for more and con-
tinued to plead with his broken
but active tail until vicious
kick sent him yelping down the
street. The dispensers of the
sausages were very much embar'
rassed by the fact that the smell
of the raw meat attracted ours
from for and near, and each po'
liceman had from fifteen to twenty
Of them trooping at his heels. The
officers could not step either to
the right or left without stumbling
overa mute supplicant for sausage
and In obedience to strict orders
the savory morsal was distributed
with a liberal hand but withou
effect.

MAxWELL'S FATHER.

st Louis, July 2S.-Samuel N.
Brooks, of Hyde, England, father
of Hugh M. Brooks, alias Maxwell,
arrived IN this city last night. He

days of dire extremity, to try to
save him from a felon's death.
When visited by a reporter he
collected himself for conversation.
but hesitated as though keeping
back his tears. II could not get
here earlier on account Of the
trains. l have not seen my boy
yet."
In answer to a question as to
what was thought of the case in
England Mr.. Brooks said: "Over
in England we can't understand
anything that isn't fair. The boy
is no more guilty of murder than
you are. | will never desert him.
l will spend my last copper to save
him. / will see everybody in the
United States until see the mas.

/ will not desert him. II would
be murder to hang him. The detec-
tive was thrown with him into the
jail. That was Infamous, fiendish.
diabolical. The wonder is that the
fiabby.faced wretch was allowed to
go on the stand and open his mouth.
An English Judge would have sent
him to prison and tried him and
others too for conspiracy. The
boy never told that man what he
claimed. My boy never commit.

Preller was done OF his own re.
quest.

Remember, it is TO the party Of

we have nothing to do with the

Let all else be forgotten and the

Dear Sir-In reply to yours of
the Bird inst, will say, hastily, that
1t seems to be a matter of opinion
asto the success of Prohibition
over Iowa, whether 1t does or
does not prohibit. Of course my
opinion would be ofno more value
than the opinions of others, but a
few facts obtained from the rec.
ords of this Office will serve az a
kind of index to its workings in
this tKeokuk) county. 1t is true
that we have no open saloons
where drinks are publicly sold but
under our law, by permission of
the board ofsupervlsors, the drug.
gists who are registered pharma.
cists, may sell any and all kinds of
liquors "for the actual necessities
of medicine only" But before he
can receive any liquors he must
first obtain from the auditor q
shipping permit, stating the amount
and kinds of liquors he wishes to
ship. and for each subsequent ship
ment he must obtain a like permit,
duplicates of which are kept in our
Office. From this record have
cleaned the following facts, to.wit !:
We have in fhe county 10 drug.
gists holding permits, and since
June II, 1886, when the first ship.
ping permit was issued, there has
been ordered by these 10 druggists

Then we have in the county
nine places of different kinds where
liquors of all kinds are sold under
permits from the board of super
visors. These places are generally
termed Wholesale houses. They
can sell any amount not under

cannot sell for medicine at all but
can sell for mechanical, sacrament.

es without going over the whole
of their monthly report, which I
now have not the time to do, but 1
did take time to run over the
sales Of one ofthem for the month
Of April, 1887, which I judge to be
not above the average, and I find
the following results:
Whiskey and other strong drinks
70 gallons, and 27S bottles (quarts)
Of beer. Taking this for an aver.
age month would make his sales of
whiskey, alcohol, brandy, etc., S75
gallons per annum and 1886 bot
ties OF beer. Multiply these by Q,
the number selling and you have
1915 gallons of strong liquor and
30,024 bottles of beer sold for
mechanical, sacramental and Gu.
linary purposes ONLY"

Why Taxes Are High.
IAberdeen Examiner I

lADerueen Examiner.
The State of Mississippi has no
other statistical bureau than the
Auditors Office, and he is under ex.
listing laws, supplied with no other
figures than the assessment rolls
from the various counties provid.
ed; and inasmuch as all ofthe rail.
roads built since 1886 are exempt
from taxation; aud all Of the man
ufactories are exempt; and all of
the farm products are exempt; aud
fully half of the live stock is ex.
empt; and all of the farmers and
mechanics tools are exempt; and
all Of the libraries are exempt /;
and all Of the property of church.
es, charitable associations, schools,
academies, cemeteries, cities towns
and counties, is exempt and most
of the household furniture is OK,
empt; and jewelry, watches and
money are hardly ever listed fol
taxation, and the little property
that is gwen in is appraised a,
lower figures than it would bring
If sold at auction during an cpl
demic or financial panic, il is moi
surprising that Mississippi cuts sc
poor o figure before the eyes oftht
capitalists and investors who lool
to the Auditors books for hel

enough If II suits our people, fo
after all It is q family affair ant
only concerns our own household
but while this system of exemptinI
and assessing exists, and while tin
necessity for liberal disbursement

gressive work is self evident, Mis-
sissippians have little cause TO
complaint IL the percentage oftax
alton Is greater upon such proper

munities where there are fewe
exemptions recognized by law, AM
where the assessors rolls repre-

PrOhIbItiOn-HOw it Works.

In the Atlanta Constitution OF
July IL, 13. and Il, are reports
from the courtroom, which show
the experiences of the few who
still persist in violation. Wine
rooms are allowed under the law,
with permission to sell domestic
wines, but not by the drink, aud
when sold by the bottle or quart,
the purchaser cannot drink it in
the wine room. On the 1th of
July a case was made out against
a MIR. Daus. a wine-room proprie.
tor, and his colored employee.
Three white men gave Steve Mil.
Ter, a decoy, a dollar to buy them
some whiskey. He went into Mr..
Daus' wine-room and the colored
employee was seen to hand him q
bottle wrapped in paper. Steve
brought it out and he and the
white men went into the alley and
drank the contents, which was
whiskey. Steve first admitted the
truth of these statements, but
afterwards on oath swore the op-
posite. The judge required him
to give o bond on the charge of
perjury. This was not Mr.. Daus'
first offense. He had paid a fine
before. Judge Anderson deliver
ed the sentence, which was that
Daus and his employee should pay
a fine of forty dollars and spend
twenty-five days In the changing
each. "Your honor," said Mr..
Daus' counsel, "did you say forty
dollars or twenty-five days in the
chain-gangw ~ mo SIR SAID the
judge, II said forty dollars and
twenty-five days.
Mr.. Daus, says the Constitution
reporter, was the first man of
prominence sentenced to the chain
gang. AS he heard the sentence
his chin dropped on his breast and
the picture was a touching one.
An effort was made to get a par.
don from the Mayor. The result
was Mr.. Daus made an affidavit
that he would not, within the city
or county, sell or keep on hand
any spurious liquors or intoxica.
ting beers SO long as tho sale is
prohibited; and then the chain
gang part of the sentence was
suspended, to be enforced if the
parties again be detected in viola.
ting the law.
Again Mr.. Kennebraw was found
guilty of violating the prohibition
law, aud was fined FIVE hundred
dollars in the police court. The
fine was paid, and he was then
brought before the city court and
fined fifty dollars more for the
same offense. When the second
fine was imposed Mr.. Kennebraw
surrendered to the Mayor his VINE
room license, and filed an affidavit
that he would not again violate
the law; and upon these condi'
tioDs the Mayor remitted forty
dollars of the second fine.
On the 18th of July, Judge An
derson gave two more wine room
men a fine and twenty-five days in
the chain gang. Their case will
60 to q higher court.

Douglas the scene of a Fatal shooting
ARRAY.

Special Dispatch to The Leader.
DOUGLAS, Wyo., Nov. douglas had
a man for breakfast yesterday for the first
time in its history. Last evening about Q
O'Clock Harry King shot and instantly
killed J.. "a. Bowman. The tragedy is
the outgrowth OF an old trouble dating
back several years, when King was an
employe of Bowman at Chadron. At
this time, King claims, Bowman seduced
his wife. Bowman was drilling an oil
well west of here for an Omaha COM
pany and arrived in town last evening.
King has been in the employ of the
railroad here as yard hand. They met n
front of the Valley House and King with
the remark: damn you, you seduced
nv wife," shot Bowman through the
body, the ball passing through the man
artery near the heart. King gave him
self up. Bowman had been warned that
King threatened to kill him.
